Liverpool travel to Tynecastle in the Europa League to take on Hearts, so what better time to look at the Reds in action against Scottish opposition in Europe, including the last time they travelled to the capital to play a competitive match...

FERGIE KNOCKED OFF PERCH BY LIVERPOOL
“Anyone who laughs will be fined £10,” growled Alex Ferguson at his players during the long coach drive back to Aberdeen from Liverpool where his first trip to Anfield as manager had ended in a 4-0 thrashing. It was the 1980 European Cup Second Round, Ferguson v the great Bob Paisley, but after Terry McDermott's chip helped Liverpool to a 1-0 win at Pittodrie, a Willie Miller own goal, Phil Neal, Kenny Dalglish and Alan Hansen ended the Scottish champions' Euro push.

STEIN OUTDONE BY SHANKLY AS LIVERPOOL PROGRESS TO CUP WINNERS CUP FINAL
In Glasgow in 1966, Bobby Lennox struck to give Jock Stein's boys a 1-0 lead to take to Anfield, but on their own turf, Bill Shankly's charges, thanks to Tommy Smith and Geoff Strong, progressed to the final at Hampden Park. It didn't end well for the Reds, though and they lost 2-1 to Borussia Dortmund. Celtic, meanwhile, were the toast of European football a year later after beating Inter 2-1 in Lisbon and becoming the first team in Britain to win the continent's premier competition.

HARTSON'S ROCKET ROCKS THE REDS
Following a 1-1 draw at Celtic Park, few gave the Bhoys a hope when they returned to Anfield to settle the 2003 UEFA Cup quarter final tie. Alan Thompson and John Hartson, though, showed the rest of Europe that the Glaswegians meant business with two thunderous efforts and a Henrik Larsson-inspired Celtic then went all the way to the final, losing 3-2 to Jose Mourinho's Porto in Seville.

STEVE MCMANAMAN SOLO STRIKE SEES OFF REDS
Dancing through the Celtic defence, the Liverpool midfielder capped off a wonderful run with a superb finish and ultimately doing enough to send his club through to the 1997 UEFA Cup Second Round. Michael Owen, in his eighth appearance for the club, got Liverpool off to a flyer at Celtic Park, but Jackie McNamara and Simon Donnelly looked to have secured a vital win to take to the second leg at Anfield until McManaman set off from inside his own half. Two weeks later, a 0-0 draw sent Liverpool through on away goals.

HIBS EDGED OUT OF EUROPE BY TOSHACK AND CO.
Five years after Liverpool saw off the Edinburgh club 3-0 on aggregate in the Fairs Cup in 1970, they were given another crack at the all-conquering Reds in the first round of the UEFA Cup. Joe Harper, whom Hibs had not long before paid Liverpool's arch rivals Everton £120,000 to take him to the Scottish capital, gave his a 1-0 victory at Easter Road, while goalkeeper Ray Clemence kept the damage to a minimum when he saved a John Brownlie penalty. In the return, however, they were undone by Kevin Keegan and John Toshack, who scored a hat-trick and went on to win the tournament, beating Club Brugges in the final.
